Topic: BJCP moving up the ranks question (Read 3988 times)

I'm a bit confused by exactly what exams are required to move up to National. I don't have enough experience points yet but I can't really figure out what exams are required. Can someone please fill me in on what exams are necessary? Thanks.

You need at least a score of 80 on your tasting exam and 10 points to be able to take the written exam. The average score between your tasting exam and written exam then need to be 80+ in order to get to national rank (which also requires you have 20 judging points)

10 points for National can be from stewarding, staffing, etc. But you must have all 10 of the required judging points to take the written exam.

I created this flow chart to help some interested in my homebrew club to more quickly understand the exam process without having to dig it out from the BJCP documents. If the version in the post is too small to read, you can see a bigger version on the web page I use to give info on the exams I administer here: https://sites.google.com/site/arizonabjcpexams/home. I find it useful to visualize processes like this.

That's awesome. Exactly what I was stumbling to find. I scored exactly 80 on my tasting exam and I have 10 points or I think I should when the last comp gets entered so I shall start the search for a written exam. Now I just need to get 100 on the written to qualify for Master

It should be a lot easier to find a written in the future with the new quarterly exams, I believe you just have to find an active exam grader to administer the test.

That's a nice chart. I keep reading all over BJCP that apprentice is disappearing, but they don't seem to actually be making it disappear.
